I’ve replaced my old laptop with a new one and I have over 350GB worth of data to move over, moving all of it to an external drive and then moving them to the new laptop doesn’t seem efficient and it seems like it’s gonna take forever

I know there are some special cables that can do that but I don’t wanna waste money on something that I’m only gonna use once every 5 years at most.

    I know it’s not an answer to the cable question. But you should really consider sync thing. It’s open source you can run a server on your local network and a client on your other comouter and move all the files over just using your local networking. It’s painless. Open source. End to end encrypted. So in the scenario the special cable would just be Ethernet or Wi-Fi
